These fish look like Jabba the Hutt. Now, RI kids are eating monkfish at school. Monkfish, also known as anglerfish, may be lacking in the looks department, but Julia Child called them 'one of the great fish of all time.'

"[K]ids seem to like the mini fish burgers."

I think this means you’re also legally required to read it….

Requested the new Ben Lerner book as soon as I learned that it is partially set at the Apple Store in the Providence Place Mall

'It's politics, baby': Has picking RI's judges become too political? Court reformers see signs of ethical backsliding when it comes to picking the state's judges.

Political Scene: Are the 90s back?

An election-year RI Supreme Court opening has turned attention back to the old State House to courthouse pipeline.

EG!

Yup!

I interviewed for a customer service position at their factory early in my career. Interview with the floor manager went well!

Then KJP himself popped in to grill me on having worked for the RI Coalition for Reproductive Freedom - why I was doing it, who was paying me, etc.

I didn't get the job.

Ads for preppy store in liberal Newport co-opted by White nationalists The company sells an aspirational image of coastal New England life. Some read more into it.

This is an interesting article. I own a couple of KJP items. I've never seen their social media. However, after watching, I'm pretty sure I can see why it was co-opted by white nationalists. The ads are a year old, why didn't they changed their ads once they saw the Nazis sharing it?

"How did a seemingly innocuous video promoting a store that sells socks embroidered with puffins and lobsters become a far-right meme?"

A wild story from @antoniafarzan.bsky.social.

“Portugal was right in 2018, recognizing that self-determination of gender identity is a human right that should not be limited by geographical or bureaucratic barriers, nor by pathologization. Making the intentional choice to revert to 2011 will only stigmatize a vulnerable population and compromise our mental health, dignity, and legal rights in society.”

ICYMI: Yesterday, I wrote in Público about my own experiences navigating Portugal’s self-determination law to update my legal name and gender, and why the Parliament's current move to repeal it is so significant.

Nooooooooo

I'm generally pro-return to office, but I acknowledge that one of the stronger arguments against this view is the fact that the typical American office space is one of the most soul-destroying spaces in the developed world.

A gigantic snow teddy bear was stopping traffic in Woonsocket. A massive snow sculpture carved by David Gladu outside his Poplar Street home has become a local attraction, with drivers, city workers, and school buses stopping so families can snap photos. https://bit.ly/3PgbKRc
